Consider the map given below indicating four places frequently figuring in the news:
Which one of them is Chechenya? Choose the correct answer from the codes given below:
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1. The question requires identifying Chechenya on the provided map, based on its location frequently being in the news (around 1995, due to the First Chechen War).
2. Chechenya is located in the North Caucasus region of Eastern Europe.
3. Without the actual map image, we must infer the likely position marked. Assuming the map shows the Caucasus region or Eastern Europe:
- Position 1 might represent a location further west or north.
- Position 2 might represent a location south of the Caucasus or in Turkey/Iran.
- Position 3 is plausibly placed within the North Caucasus, consistent with the location of Chechenya.
- Position 4 might represent a location further east, perhaps near the Caspian Sea but not Chechnya itself.
4. Therefore, based on typical geographical representations in such questions from that era, position 3 is the most likely indicator for Chechenya.
